Thank you!

When you reach pvp in the abyss is it usually even or is there a higher amt of peope in one faction.

In wow, it seemd like the horde was always had more players than the Alliance.

Depends on the server, depends on the time of day, etc.

Go to aionsource.com and check out the server forums to get a good idea as to what is going on.

I would suggest to everyone, do not buy this game. The service is the worse thing I have ever experience. In the past I have reported glitches with screen shots that blatently show there are huge problems in with the games programming. Their tech support blaims it on my computer though I know other players are experiencing the same thing. Also, they merged servers and did not take into account balancing the community. The lag is very bad. I also attempted to report that. Most people's toons (your in game character) completely froze during a raid. This is highly unusual as it is possible to play with out viewing character models. Though I reported that most people experienced a ping in excess of 9000 (i know wow) tech support didnt care and blamed it once again on my system

N ext, we have the GMS, who refuse to share information. Players are actually banned from asking NCsoft for information in the forums, it is their written policy that it is not allowed. Their GMS also insult players -alot- in the forums. I have seen so many players under minded it is rediculious. The GMS are trolls, isn't that amazing?

Finally, there is the issue of flight in the game. All advertisements make it out like you can fly around 24/7 and stay in the air for very long periods. The space in which flight is allowed is actually very limited and so many things can knock you out of the air, such as being attack, there is no point to flying. It becomes a hazard to fly as opposed to something thats a fun tactical attribute. The flight timer is 1 minute by defualt. However, other classes get bonuses on flight time/flight speed and there are items as well as equipment that can change this flight time. Despite that, it is still a very limited part of game play. It still has some glitches, such as falling in mid air causes you to die. But youre a bird.... They did this on purpose though it makes no sense. 4second fall=death 5seconds cd on wings to deploy. youre doomed if something knocks you our of the air basically.

Very limited story line, if you like roleplay, dont bother. The story line, there is none to really speak of. The game is rather dull in that aspect. The pvp is highly unbalanced. Spiritmasters (the game summoner) by level 50 have 3 fear skills which cannot be guarded against, except for the sin who has 1 skill that absorbs 1 magical attack. I am not even sure if that works tbh. They also have an aoe fear skill which will through an entire group off them into mobs that will kill them. Clerics are considered to be a class that no one should fight alone, unless they are an sm. They are almost impossible to kill. The put DOT (damage over time) on you and heal till you cant keep with their heals and DOT. The game is just rediculious.

Do you like events? Forget it... They put up 2d bulbs on 2 d trees for christmass and sold EXTREMELY expensive event things. Most games give something to you for free. The santa hat cost over 100,000 in game money.  The suit, is over 200,000 I believe. The events, when they do happen, which is  rare, suck. Also, gm's play in the game, though they don't help players. They just...well do nothing but sit there to have fun. Unfortunately elyos(1 of 2 races) has all of the gms, which means the other race (asmo) ends up getting the short end of the stick.

I refuse to invite my friends to play this game for free month of game play because I LIKE my friends and would like to KEEP them. Yes, the up keep of the game is just that bad. They refuse to give the community information about anything. They told us we would be getting a major patch, were late on it, didnt give us information about it being late till after it was already late, never apologized really, never explained why it happened.

I have NOTHING good to say about this game. The community is crap too because they never ban trolls or people how train mobs on other people. It is against ncsoft policy to do/be either, however they do not care. Also, main forts that are guarded by a barrier the other race cannot enter have a glitch in them, which people take advantage of. Unfortunately tiamat, a game gm, said it was 'acceptable' though it is blatently exploiting a glitch. The guards inside the barrier do not fight back... Why? Because they arent suppoed to have to. So a lvl 50 (our cap lvl) will come in, kill a bunch of people, get a butt load of ap(used to buy pvp gear) and suffer no repercussions.

Do NOT buy this game. I hate wow, but at least the moderate their community. Goatse was once all over our forum. Did I mention our forum is still broken? IT works, just barely.....

The only point in this entire post that has any merit is about the flight. Everything else is just hot-air spewing from someone who was massively disappointed because the game wasn't exactly what he/she thought it would be. If you're going to spew THAT much drivel, at least give some links to back up your nonsense.
